Please post as a Topic on this blog.

Just took https://my.powercentsdc.org/home.php for a spin. Even though it is a beta site, it is very spiffy. Nice user interface and good information display. Looking forward to seeing the other widgets once they are available.

One suggestion: I would like to be able to receive a text message or sms from my thermostat telling me what the temp is of the house and then be able to change that temp before I return home.

For example, it’s 5.30pm in the winter and I am about to commute home. I receive an SMS from my thermostat saying it is 59 degrees. I reply heat to 66 degrees. By the time I enter the house, it is nice and toasty.

I understand the programmable thermostats allow you to set temperatures based on the day of the week, etc. But they are cumbersome to program (I know previous versions required a double Ph.D in electrical and mechanical engineering) especially for shoulder seasons like spring and fall.

A lot of people have varying schedules and it would be nice if this system dynamically responded to how people actually live their lives here in the District. For example, on Monday I leave for work at 6.30a and return at 7p, but on Tuesday, I leave at 8a and return at 5p, etc.

The first screen of the thermostat display below shows an estimate of the month-to-date (MTD) bill for electricity since the last monthly bill.

The third screen below shows the MTD electricity usage in kilowatt hours since the last monthly bill.

Both figures are updated using data through midnight of the previous day.

I hope this answers the question! If not, please feel free to contact us at 1-888-232-5949 or via email at info@PowerCentsDC.org

Comment on Critical Pricing: Day One by Katherine Butler

Still getting the hang of the new SmartStat Programmable Thermostat, and I have never seen the green light, actually light up. I had to make the adjustment to the thermostat as an overide. However, we have made the switch to all compact fluorescent blubs.

I like that you get the peaks day and time alert in advance so that you can turn off the necessary electrical appliance or air conditions/central air unit.
